  • I use ChatGPT once a day or so. Yeah, it’s damned good at simple facts, more than lemmy will ever admit. Yeah, it’ll easily make shit up if there’s no answer to be had.

    We should have started teaching tech literacy and objective analysis 20-years ago. FFS, by 2000 I had figured out that, “If it sounds like bullshit, it likely is. Look more.”

    Also, after that post, I’m surprised this site hasn’t taken you out back and done an ol’ Yeller on ya. :)



  • Said here before, I clean the local woods on every trip. I can tell where I haven’t been for awhile by the trash.

    It’s made a serious impact! Ya know, the whole “broken windows” thing? Most of the crap is from 3 things:

    • People chunking beer cans. I can understand (without condoning) that they’re likely underage and don’t want to get busted.
    • Snack wrappers. Again, likely kids given the waste I find. That’s on the parents.
    • Crap that floated down from higher ground. People see trash and assume it was chunked on purpose. Nope. Tons of it simply flooded down from spilled trash cans, fell out of the car when exiting, shit like that.

    We ALL litter, believe that. No matter how hard we try our waste gets away from us. Hell, I’ve found my own beer cozies on various trails, 4 times in the last year. I find my own crap at our camp every trip. “How the fuck did I drop that?!” Oops. Pick up more than you can possibly lose. That’s all a man can do.

    LOL, my kid’s when boating, “No daddy! Don’t go mess with that!” Now? They’re actively hunting trash and fishing tackle. Hell, my wife was the same way and now makes us turn around for fishing bobbers.
